Coronaviruses are members of the Nidovirales order and belong to the family Coronaviridae. There are four subgroups of the coronavirus family: Alpha (a), beta (b), gamma (c) and delta (d). According to reports, this coronavirus belongs to the beta group. The global spread of the coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan City in the Chinese province of Hubei, is accelerating. The symptoms of COVID-19 are non-specific and the two most prevalent ones are fever (88%) and dry cough (12%) (68 percent). Less frequent symptoms include headache, diarrhoea and vomiting. Coronavirus is transmitted from human to human via airborne droplets or from animal to human (zoonotic). Coronavirus enters the human cell through the membrane ACE-2 exopeptidase receptor. The incubation period ranges from 2 to 14 days. Despite not being a sexually transmitted disease, COVID-19 may still be transferred by direct touches including kissing, intimate physical contact and fecal-oral routes. There are not many publications on the clinical characteristics of expectant moms who are COVID-19 positive. The changes in maternal physiology and immunological function that take place during pregnancy may increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women, as well as their risk of having more severe clinical outcomes. From the 20 studies that were taken into consideration, 156 pregnant women with COVID-19 and 108 neonatal outcomes were found. Premature membrane rupture (8%) and intrauterine/fetal distress (14%) were the most frequent maternal/fetal problems. Breathlessness (6%), gastrointestinal problems (4%) and fever (3%) were all typical newborn clinical signs of COVID-19. Pregnancy issues, including premature delivery and PPROM, are more likely to occur when a woman has a COVID-19 infection and in rare instances, maternal death may result. No evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection may be transmitted vertically to an unborn child.
